In rejecting the efficiency claims made in defense of cartels,
Professors Blake and Jones have noted that "the courts have not merely found them to
be untrue or incapable of truth; they have found them to be irrelevant. Manifestly, the
courts, in applying what [Professors] Bork and Bowman describe as a 'model antitrust law,'
have subordinated the economic objective of antitrust--to a political objective--the
preservation of a self-policing system." H. M. Blake & W.K. Jones, In Defense of
Antitrust65 Colum. L. Rev. 377, 785-86 (1965).
